In Canada Fathers lose child benefits if they get a girlfriend

In Canada we are lucky enough to have a pretty solid social net to help families from birth to 18 years old, If you are a woman that is.

If a couple seperates, the benefits will be split in half and paid to both the mother and father, unless the seperated father gets a new girlfriend
and lives with her for more then a year. In that case the fathers benefits goes directly back to the mother.

The mother of course is allowed to have a boyfriend and not be affected by this at all.

So it isnt just the feminists pushing the agenda that created MGTOW, the government itself is making men stay away from having any serious
relationship.

Can you just imagine the # show if this was reversed. Why are feminists not outraged by this lack of equality in the system? Why are feminists not
outraged about fathers needing their new girlfriend to make a demand to Revenu Canada for a child that is not even theirs, and have them prove that
the father is truly taking care of his children?

Huh? Every family gets the money. When they seperate the amount is split in half to both parents.

The state pays them just because they exist as parents? So your workers are taxed to financially support families? Productive families get less in
take home pay to receive checks from the state and also support less/non productive/earning parents?

Exactly that, the state pays them for being parents and expenses related to that. To be for or against this has nothing to do with my op tho. This is
the Canadian reality, parents get money from the government monthly. My op is about the gender inequality of it.

In America, if the mother leaves the father and takes the children... not only does he pay her every dollar it costs to raise the kids- but if she
decides to get a job at 9 an hour, he also has to pay the baby sitter at 13 an hour while she's at work.

Of course of the wench doesn't leave and decides to do her motherly duty of raising children with the father she chose, he only gets taxed at 30
percent up front plus 30 more on the other side.

My point is by arguing "equality" over application of a ridiculously stupid, unfair concept to begin with, you're just rearranging the deck chairs on
the Titanic. Canada looks like they've already got decision makers who traded the family cow for some magic beans, why be surprised or angry when
they throw the beans out the window?

LOL you are gonna lose your mind then when you read this next sentence. In Quebec, there is also provincial child benefits paid by Quebec that is
added to the Canadian one. But again this is what we chose for ourselves as a society so I cant really argue about it being totally alien to an
American.

The Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) was a tax-free monthly payment available to eligible Canadian families to help with the cost of raising children.
The CCTB could incorporate the National Child Benefit (NCB), a monthly benefit for low-income families with children, and the Child Disability Benefit
(CDB), a monthly benefit for families caring for children with severe and prolonged mental or physical disabilities. The CCTB was enacted in response
to a commitment made by the Canadian parliament, in November 1989, to eradicate child poverty in Canada by the year 2000.[1] However, it has been
found that, due to cutbacks to social assistance, the impact of this program in reducing child poverty is negligible.[1] This program was eliminated
in 2016 and replaced by the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), a tax free payment of $533.00 per child under 6 and $450 per child from 6 to 17. Which is
reduced at various rates by the number of children and the amount of money the household makes so that households at the top end of "middle-class" and
"high-income" get nothing

On the subject..I don't know about the policy/law, but it does not surprise me in the least
